In other words what you do for the flu. It's amazing to me that while most folks don't even get their flu or shingles vaccines or other vaccines, now everyone is super concerned with Covid19. Why? Because it's the new virus in town. Take reasonable precautions but folks, you are probably going to catch this virus and the good news is, you will survive it and have some immunity afterwards.  |
This is NOT a cold virus; this virus is the very same class of organism that causes foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
Its not about getting through skin, its all about getting it on your hands and fingers and touching your mouth, nose or eyes. This is how most respiratory viruses are tranmitted, along with coughing/sneezing.
Just so you know, this virus is considerably more lethal than the 1918 Influenza virus; the lethality index for the 1918 Influenza was ~1.8; the lethality index for this virus is 2.5-3, if not greater. This virus is NOT to be treated lightly. People should be super-concerned about COVID-19 and take appropriate measures.
